Cadara and Snooze, as one, make a pleased noise--Snooze's much quieter than Cadara's. She isn't ashamed to show if she likes something. Then Snooze looks back to the Doctor. "What do you mean? I just want--" he gestures at Cadara. "It is nothing to do with me. I just want her to be happy."

Cadara feels Essene look up, her attention distracted--but, unlike when she herself paid attention to Snooze and Essene got her attention back, Cadara simply waits for Essene to pay attention to her again. She has no right to demand anything, after all; Essene is the one who is extending her kindness towards Cadara, and she could withdraw it at any time.

Essene yawns, her tongue hanging out of her mouth ridiculously, and snuggles back up to Cadara. She's happy; her human is happy; and the panther beside her is happy. This, she is more than willing to continue with. The Doctor, now, finds it a bit hard to pay attention to his reading, and his eyes drift close as he sits in his chair.

(Now that all our possible POVs have gone to sleep, yeah. XD And yes, I suppose it would be. The Doctor is going to wait for Snooze to initiate serious touching, though he'll provide lots of opportunities, and he'll probably start casual touches soon after this scene.)
